Sprawling From Grace ~ Unintended Results...

Feature-length documentary Sprawling From Grace...
"...explores the ravages of American suburban sprawl, what America has lost as a result, and the perils we face if we don't change the way in which we build our cities. Americans have been lulled into a false sense of security by cheap energy that has allowed us to spread endlessly into our landscape. We are trapped behind the wheels of our automobiles. With the demand for oil outpacing the Earth's ability to supply it, this suburban living arrangement will fail. America's love affair with the automobile is straining and, like Nero, we are fiddling away, confident that tomorrow will be as promising as today. The wake up call is coming."
